Pros
Strong brand in market place (though diminishing in recent years) Lots of PTO Good co-workers (below Director level) Started offering free coffee last year in cafeteria
Cons
Executive level turnover every few years (regime changes) Lots of reorgs Lots of layoffs Older veteran staff not valued or included in decision making Lack of transparency Executives don't know the tax and accounting profession/industry Cut throat, cover you *ss tactics and culture at higher levels Rank and file morale terrible Executives micro manage Decisions made without thinking through the consequences - only bottom line focus ("we'll figure out how to deal with getting things done with 20 less staff down the road") Great at cost-cutting (more and more getting outsourced), terrible at knowing how to grow top line. Sales rep turnover is astronomical - probably greater than 40% per year What executives say and do don't match - consequently no trust Could go on much more - bottom line is the Research & Learning organization is dysfunctional ...
